Introducing: The Nature Filmmaking Academy.
I’m proud to announce the upcoming presale of my new filmmaking masterclass, tailored specifically for filming nature using drones, handheld cameras and gimbals. There will be a special 50% off pre-sale discount for those who purchase the course during the first 48 hours, starting on November 1st.
It was around five years ago that my decade long career in photography took a turn into cinematography. I had the opportunity to see how my photographic eye would translate to moving image using drones on the Netflix series Life On Our Planet. That series marked the beginning of a new era for my career and I’ve since worked year round on natural history productions to hone my skills of filming nature, both in Iceland and the Polar regions.
This course will cover my entire filmmaking workflow, from the gear and drones that I use in different outdoor filming situations, my approach for sequence building in the field, my go to camera settings, to how I craft edits and colour grade my footage in Davinci Resolve.
I have a huge passion for colour grading that stems from years of building cohesive and stylised photographic edits. Applying those skills to video grading has led to some interesting techniques that I am excited to share with you guys.
What makes the Nature Filmmaking Academy special is that it’s not only an online course, but also a platform for you to join in field mentoring programs and cinematography workshops in Iceland with @stormexped, exclusively for those who have enrolled in the course.
To be notified for the 48 hour presale, sign up via the link in my bio. You’ll receive a newsletter with a breakdown of the course, ahead of the preorder launch on November 1st.
Stay tuned for more insights about the course 🤘🏼



- Hello Benjamin, first congratulations on your particularly inspiring work. I have a question, where can we find details about your new masterclass cinematography? Thank you
Color grading lessons with Ben is going to surpass any Davinci tutorial on YouTube hands down … folks, get on this!!- So why all the over expensive camera gear, when all we really need is good post software 🤔 🤷♂️🤦♂️😢😡
